You can bite the inside of your mouth in such a manner that it makes you more likely to bite the same spot again.
Your body is constantly afraid that it’s going to starve to death at any moment, to the extent that it stockpiles fat to such a degree that you can die of too much fat stockpile. If you start getting exercise and burn some fat, your body will adjust to try and stockpile fat even harder, so you have to increase your exercise load to keep ahead of the system.
Pain has a emotional component. It’s not enough that we are aware of damage being done to our body, but rather sometimes that awareness is so strong that it renders us incapable of defending or repairing ourselves. Meanwhile, any number of other animals can full-on get a major limb ripped right off and they just keep on keeping on like it’s no big deal.
Fuck I’ve been in early access for so long waiting on these bugfixes
Lol
Also, vertebrate eyes (left below) have a blind spot because the nerve wiring is routed in front of the retina and needs a path to get out of the eyeball, so there’s a spot with no photoreceptor cells where all the fibers run out.
It doesn’t have to be this way - cephalopod eyes (right) have the nerves running out the back of the retina so they don’t need a pass-through hole.
But, but… We were made in God’s image, from 2 people, 6000 years ago…
To be fair to God, I’d probably also make a lot of mistakes if I tried to make a whole universe in a week on my first attempt
“In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.”
6 days. He gave up on the 7th and went out for a pack of smokes and gallon of milk.
Well you are also not omniscient
If we are copies of God, and God has this same blind spot, that would explain so much about our species and why it’s so fucked up.

Wut?! It’s not bc nose bridge or whatever?!
No, it’s basically a cable routing issue. It could’ve been planned better.
This understanding is a gateway drug to atheism
100% yes.
If you go by a strict 7-day creation interpretation of Genesis, then God created all the creatures (including the octopi and squids) before He created Man. Therefore, He made an objectively better eyeball, and then He made a worse one for the being created ‘in His image’, because… reasons… and you can’t even explain it away as a prototype.
To be fair, the rest of your body’s also temporary.
A number of rodents have a similar problem. Squirrels, as well as others, have their teeth that never stop growing. This is why they need to chew on twigs, nut shells, etc to wear down the ever growing teeth.
but like, they have a solution at least
You’re using a clothesline as a flagpole.
